This looks like cutting the ball.
For sure. It's something I have been working on as well with my DD as I have seen lots of cuts going deep. We've been talking it over and experimenting. We have always tried to achieve full on path barrel contact but have seen many videos cutting as well. The location of the pitch is obviously a factor. High pitch or high tee more cutting. Couldn't cut these swings by Donaldson
Allysa DiCarlo who was a prolific college HR hitter and hit for average too was clearly not a cutter, In fact, she was always very steep
